Abstract
Description
Porcine circovirus 2 (PCV2) may induce reproductive failure (return to oestrus, embryonic death, mum-
mification, weak- and stillborn piglets) and postweaning multisystemic wasting syndrome (PMWS).
Furthermore, it may modulate the immunity in such a way that it aggravates the outcome of many
bacterial and viral infections. In the present paper, the cellular tropism and entry of PCV2 are described
and linked with the pathological and clinical consequences.
